For the first time in my life, and many other Parisians' lifetime, I saw Notre Dame, CLEAN... Whooooaaa.... & funny enough, it looked weird to me... As though they had just peeled her of her coat of 100 of years history.... Now ... Notre Dame just looks like St Paul Cathedral, on 5th Avenue... Weird...

Felicia Morris aka the Poetess from the FOXX HOLE (Jamie foxx's sirius satelite radio show) hooked us up with tix to the Jamie Foxx show at the Tower theater in Philadelphia.

And for that we support her!!!!! Also we want ot give her big shout out for contributing to this blog and makin' it awesomely entertaining... FIRST APPRENTICE, you will be missed.

Now... How was Paris?... There are no words awesome enough to describe how it felt to come home after so long.

However I can tell you all about the Stallions hunting experience in the land of Baguettes and croissant... What an adventure!...

But first things first... We have been auditioning Stallions left and right, and so far the stable is growing fast and steady... So... Now it's time to get our our Saigon Girls Crew up to part...So we will have the same process as the guys to apply to become a Saigon Girl...

Stallions can be a handful at times, and we are seeking girls that will stay gracious no matter what the pressure! ;o)

You know, it's still a huge deal for me to be all like "Oh yeah, I'm going to New York for a photoshoot in the morning" - seriously! I hope I never get all jaded and spoiled by my amazing life here and stop appreciating the fact that I am 1.5 hours away from the Big Apple in the Saigon Limo and that we know the most amazing fucking people there. After pulling our crazy all-nighter we were out of this joint at 8.30 am. We took our neighbour Michelle with us, stylist/Saigon Girl Phelena Jean and her OGG Dad Nappa (Original Gangster, Gentleman/Grandfather, he thinks he's not a Stallion but little does he KNOW PAPA!!!), as well as Miss Saigon and myself of course.

When we got to New York we met up with our model Silq and Saigon Photographer Marlon...

This guy is amazing, when we walked in there's magazine covers with this guy on the front of them everywhere (including a shared one with the RZA) and more flicks of him with celebrities like Shirley Manson, John Leguizamo and Bjork, many of whom come to Shi Yan for the best Shaolin training in America! Shi Yan's been in ads for Nike, IBM, HP, Hallmark and is the face of Chase Manhattan Bank. WOW! That's why we were so stoked to present him with his own pair of dragon-themed Saigon Customs which he additionally modelled the hell out of.

I feel bad even saying "hell" when talking about Shi Yan since the temple came with a whole lot of rules that we had to abide by which includes no profanities (I think we failed a couple of times on that one - sorry Shifu) Although I felt eerily comfortable with them all, maybe because it kind of sounded like I could have written them.

Anyways, after feeling all stoked and pleased with ourselves because of the great shoot at the temple, we bailed to get our so ho on in SoHo. Then we met a man with a cat on his head.

And this douchebag took a picture of my cleavage when I was leaning over.

DOES HE NOT LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY YOU'D SEE HANGING OUT NEAR CHILDREN'S PLAY AREAS

So I haven't posted the money shots yet as we're still finishing them but I will post them when they're done. I just want to say that we are SO appreciative to have such an incredible crew come together and work so well for us and it showed in the flow of the day (even with Miss Saigon calling Cedra "the Gestapo" for keeping us all on point and organised hahahahaa.....) Here's a whole lot of candids so y'all can feel what an amazing day it was...
